Viola Davis wants to be honest with you. About her life. About Hollywood’s inequity. About what it means to be an actor working today.

In an interview in @nytmag, Davis talks about her role as a blues singer fighting for control of her music in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” the new film adaptation of August Wilson’s 1984 play. There are parallels in her performance to the struggle of Black actors who for years have had to fight for power and equal representation in an industry that often does not recognize them.

“In ‘Ma Rainey,’ everybody’s fighting for their value,” the 55-year-old actor says, “and the thing that holds us back is being Black. I wanted to show that. No — ‘show that’ is not a good term for an actor. I wanted that to be a part of Ma Rainey. I wanted people to see what lay in the heart of her being. Which is: I know my worth.”

@ヴィオラ・デイヴィス says she has been trying lately to reconcile the trauma from her past. “Growing up with a parent who was an alcoholic, severe poverty, what happens is, as you move through life, things catapult you back to the past,” she said. “You’re there again. I’m trying to heal that. I’m learning how to forgive it. I feel like I’ve done a great job.”
